Anne & Jake’s Bright Colorful Midwestern Home

Anne emailed saying their home tour is featured at apartment therapy today and one of my Live What You Love yellow prints is beautifully displayed in their bedroom!! I love the frame, ceramic collection around the art and the pretty dresser — very well done, Anne & Jake! Makes me so happy to see my art has been loved by such great people… :)

Godling Pearl Old Style No.3

Golding Pearl Old Style #3

How was your 4th of July weekend?! Good, I hope! Heartfish Press welcomed a new (old) press on Sunday! Meet the Golding Pearl Old Style No. 3 — made in 1902! Dan at the Arm Letterpress had been restoring it for me and finally she was ready to move into my studio.

The Pearl can be moved in pieces so that made the move a lot easier… but to lift the top part, 2-3 guys hands are required…

Everything is in the van and ready to go…

and when we came to my studio, Dan put them all back together (THANK YOU SO MUCH!) and there she is! Sitting right next to me right now :)

Ohhh that heart-shaped treadle… melts my heart every time — now, everyday! Can’t wait to print with her!

Again, thank you very much, Dan at the Arm, my friend Christian and my husband Randy for your time and hands, there was no way I could have done this by myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
